Monk Kan took Li Jian and the other three disciples back to Muxiu Peak, but he did not directly bring these three people into the mountain gate, but the four of them stepped on the flying sword and fell on a mountain peak.

"The three of you go down here, this is already Mu Xiufeng, but according to the rules, the rest of the way the three of you have to walk through, you see"

As he spoke, Monk Kan pointed with his hand, and the three disciples looked over and saw that above the vast sea of clouds, the peaks of several mountain peaks floated above the clouds like small islands.

"This is Mu Xiufeng's Eighteen Lianfeng Bridge, Mu Xiufeng's disciples, no matter where they come from, they have to walk on this Eighteen Lianfeng Bridge, and when you walk over, someone will naturally settle you. Don't underestimate this bridge, all kinds of experiences when you cross the bridge are illusions, but this illusion is the magic barrier in your heart when you practice in the future, the biggest opponent of our sword cultivation in the future is not those fierce and brutal demon beasts and demons, nor is it a suspicious person who wants to fight your idea, but the magic barrier in your heart, the power of this magic barrier is that not only can not be eradicated, but also will slowly become stronger as your cultivation deepens, if the mind is not strong, for the demon barrier, the sword cultivator will fall into the devil's way, become bloodthirsty and killing, If you can't, you'll be cleaned inside the door. This eighteen Lianfeng Bridge is to let you see where your demons are in advance, so you can prepare early, do you understand? ”

Li Jian and the other three disciples understood and nodded one after another.

"There is also a wonderful thing about this eighteen Lianfeng Bridge, that is, no matter how many people cross the bridge together, but when they step on this bridge, there is only one person in this world, and others can't see it, nor can they hear it, and they can't touch it, so although the three of you are put here together, you can't see how others can cross the bridge, and your experience is the same, and others won't know, even if I'm the same, understand?"

The three disciples nodded again.

"Now that I understand, then I'll go back to the door first, and you can't delay too long."

After speaking, the monk Kan urged the long sword under his feet, turned into a neon and disappeared.

Not far from the three people is a small stone stele, five words on the stele, it is "Eighteen Lianfeng Bridge", there are two white stone pillars behind the stele, you can see that there are ropes tied to the top of the stone pillars to extend into the clouds, and the height of the rope seems to be used as the handrail of the bridge. The ground below the stone pillar is also tied with ropes, and through the mist, you can see that a piece of wood less than a foot wide and about half a foot long is entangled by the rope below to form a bridge deck, swaying and extending into the mist, the cloud is thick and thick, and the stone pillar, the rope and the wooden plank that is the bridge deck are all stained with water vapor and wet.

Li Jian looked at it for a moment, and then said to the two people who were already brothers in the same sect next to him, "Who will come first?" ”

That Liang Baike recognized Li Jian, arched his hand and said, "Brother Li, I'll go first." ”

Li Jian nodded, and so did the other female disciple.

I saw that Liang Baike was standing by the bridge, took a few big breaths, and suddenly reached out to grab a stone pillar and stepped on the bridge deck with his feet. And his whole body disappeared into the undispersed clouds on the bridge almost at the same time.

Li Jian looked at it and nodded, sure enough, what the senior said was true, and it seemed that only he could understand what he had experienced on the bridge, so he turned around and looked at the female disciple again.

The female disciple seemed to be very timid, staring at the bridge that was trembling in the clouds, her eyes were full of fear, and when she saw Li Jian's eyes, she said apologetically: "Brother Li, I'm timid, it's better for you to invite it first, I'll be bold and talk about it." ”

Li Jian nodded, then turned around and walked to the side of the bridge, also took a deep breath, and stepped on the wooden plank of the bridge deck with one foot.

In the eyes of the female disciple, as soon as Li Jian stepped on the bridge with one foot, the whole person disappeared.

The bridge is wet and swaying, and you can hear the creaking sound of the wooden planks and ropes rubbing against each step, and even the ropes used as handrails are extremely cold to the touch.

And Li Jian walked on the bridge as if he had walked into the water, the clouds were thick, and his clothes and hair were also wet and heavy, and gradually his whole body began to chill. Blocked by the fog, I could only see five or six paces away, and I didn't know how long the suspended pontoon bridge between the two peaks was.

It was really boring to grope and walk like this, Li Jian then simply let go of the rope handrail, and only stared at the bridge in the center of the bridge and walked forward, and then he found that the pontoon bridge between the two peaks was straight, and the bridge deck looked wet but not slippery, so he raised his head and strode forward.

The pontoon bridge between the two peaks, unlike the common stone arch bridge, is first down and then up. When Li Jian stepped on a field along the suspended pontoon bridge, he was already in the first peak of the eighteen consecutive peaks, the peak was surrounded by a vast sea of clouds, there were a few small trees with moist branches and leaves, and a hot tea white steam curled on the stone table in the hall, which was naturally for himself, Li Jian walked over and took the tea and drank it all.

When he continued to step on the pontoon bridge, Li Jian looked at the dense fog in front of him, and secretly said that the danger here must be rare in the world, if there is no cloud and fog to cover it, it is also a beautiful thing to be able to see the majestic scenery here.

As soon as he thought in his heart, a mountain passed by, and almost instantly, the sea of clouds floating between the peaks was blown clean. The so-called eighteen peaks are displayed in front of his eyes at a glance: more than a dozen lonely and dangerous peaks are in front of him, and there are upside-down rainbow-like pontoon bridges between the two and two, and the place under the bridge is the mountains and forests, a piece of greenery, streams and rivers, and it is a bright line that winds and winds. Standing on the bridge, you can also see the clouds and cranes flying under your feet, stretching their wings, and they are extremely light.

The scenery here is really strange, dangerous, and rare in the world.

Originally, you can't move your thoughts here, but if you think about it, it will immediately appear in front of you. No wonder the senior said that this place is the place where he sees his own demons, Li Jian thought while walking, he was not afraid of heights, and came to the second peak along the pontoon bridge, and sure enough, he also saw a hot tea in the small pavilion on the top of the peak, and after drinking it, he continued to move forward.

In this way, every time he arrived at a peak, there was a cup of hot tea, and when he saw the hot tea, Li Jian did not hesitate, and drank it when he picked it up.

I don't know how many pontoon bridges it was, but when I was halfway up and about to go up, the pontoon bridge actually caught fire, and the mountain peaks that I could see clearly in front of me were also lost in the fireworks. Li Jian knew that what he saw was an illusion, but this illusion was so real, his cheeks were scorched by the fire, and a bloody scorched paste filled the entire chest and lungs between his breaths, and the pontoon bridge that went up was no longer visible at this time, Li Jian was standing on top of a cloud ladder at this time, the cloud ladder was ignited by the fire oil, and the flames continued to drip down with the fire oil, and the end of the cloud ladder was on the pheasant moat of a big city wall, where a banner of the Jin army was constantly waving in the billowing smoke, looking along the pheasant wall of the city wall, There is also a big fluttering at the head of the city, and the word "Li" is constantly fluttering in the wind.

The bloody breath next to his nose became stronger and stronger, and the sound of gold and iron clashing in his ears became louder and louder, Li Jian sighed in his heart, it seems that he can't forget these in this life no matter what!

Suddenly stepped forward, ignoring the burning pain around him, Li Jian strode towards the same fiery city.

At the end of the eighteen peak bridges is a cliff-top flat land, and directly opposite the last section of the bridge is a white jade archway, with three sword qi vertical and horizontal characters engraved in the middle:

Mu Xiufeng.

A handsome young man under the archway stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the clouds and mist on the pontoon bridge, seeing that his clothes should be a sword cultivator of Mu Xiufeng's Qi refining.

The young man stared at the thick fog on the pontoon, and his eyebrows gradually became puzzled, and the color of surprise gradually became thicker and thicker.

In the thick fog above the pontoon bridge, a figure was slowly emerging from it, walking step by step to the head of the bridge, and then stepping out, and standing at the top of the cliff.

"Senior Brother Li!" The young man said to the man in amazement, it seems that the monk Kan had explained to him the appearance of several people.

Li Jian looked a little tired at this time, looking at the young man who called him, and he didn't know what to call him.

"My surname is Gao, you can just call me Senior Brother Gao, I didn't expect Senior Brother Li to pass through this Eighteen Lianfeng Bridge so quickly, which is rare."

The young man surnamed Gao seemed to be very excited.

"Senior Brother Gao." Li Jian saluted the man.

"No need to be polite, we will be in the same door in the future, you should rest first, and when the rest of the junior brothers and sisters come over, I will take you to the door to settle down."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Gao."

After Li Xie Xie sighed, he found a place to sit down, and the experience of the Eighteen Lianfeng Bridge really made him tired.

At this time, on the mountain wall not far from Li Jian, a strange stone is like a big bird with wings ready to fly, and there is a small stone pavilion built on this strange stone. The stone pavilion they were in was nothing unusual, except that there was a gentle curtain around the stone pavilion outside, which allowed the people in the pavilion to look at the people on the top of the cliff without hindrance, but the people on the top of the cliff saw that the stone pavilion was empty.

"It's rare to come over so soon, what's the name of this kid?" A black-bearded monk asked.

"This kid's name is Li Jian, Mu Linggen, well, I was the first one I took a fancy to." It was the monk Kan who said this.

"This kid is good, really good, I have some feelings for him." The person who spoke was a young nun with a graceful posture and excellent appearance, standing in the pavilion and staring at Li Jian who was sitting cross-legged.

"Oh?" Monk Kan looked at the female cultivator in surprise and said, "So Senior Sister Leng is the child in the picture?" ”

"Eh, it's not necessarily good to be fast, it's not necessarily bad to be slow, let's wait until the remaining two children arrive." It was a white-robed monk in the pavilion who spoke.

As soon as Brother Kan heard this, he immediately understood the white-robed monk's intentions, and knew that he had just said a lot, and it was inconvenient for him to participate in the matter between the white-robed monk and Senior Sister Leng, so he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Sun is right, it's not too late to wait for the remaining two children." ”

The female cultivator surnamed Leng only smiled slightly when she heard this, then stopped speaking and continued to stare at Li Jian.

Besides, Li Jian rested there for a while, calmed down a little, he was also endowed, and after his mind calmed down, he always felt that he was being looked at by a few eyes, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and soon he felt that there seemed to be someone in a small pavilion near the left above him, but he inadvertently used his afterglow to probe that it was empty.

But soon he figured it out, it must be this Mu Xiufeng's seniors who were there to see these new disciples, and when he thought of this, he felt calm.

The first person in the pavilion to discover Li Jian's strange appearance was the female cultivator surnamed Leng, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and she secretly said that this child's sense was very smart, and it was indeed suitable for being included in the door.

After a while, the figure on the pontoon bridge gradually appeared, and Liang Baike's face turned slightly pale and walked out, and the young man surnamed Gao immediately greeted him, asking Liang Baike and Li Jian to rest for a while, and wait for the last female disciple.

When Liang Baike saw Li Jian's expression as usual, and he didn't know how long before himself, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, ashamed of himself.

After about two cups of tea, I saw that the female disciple walked out of the dense fog above the pontoon bridge with a slow and disgraced face, and when Senior Brother Mu Xiufeng saw it, he first asked the female disciple to rest with Li Jian, and then took the three of them into Mu Xiufeng to settle down.

Seeing the three disciples being taken away, the black-bearded monk who was the first to speak in the pavilion opened his mouth and asked, "How are these three children behaving on the bridge?" ”

At this moment, someone entered from outside the pavilion, presented a piece of paper, and bowed back.

The black-bearded monk looked at the piece of paper in his hand, and then handed it to Brother Kan, after all, he had chosen the three children.

Monk Kan couldn't help but "huh" when he looked at it, looked up at Senior Sister Leng who was still standing, and said: "Three new disciples, Li Jian is sixteen hot and two warm, Liang Baike is fourteen hot, three warm and one cool, and Jing Yu is twelve hot, four warm and two cool. ”

This warm and hot refers to the tea that Li Jian and the others drank on the top of the eighteen peaks, and every time the three of them went to a peak, if they calmly found a cup of hot tea, they could drink it. If there is a mental illusion disturbed, you need to see through or overcome, in short, this depends on the time for the individual to get rid of this illusion, if the longer you use it, the tea will gradually become warmer and cooler.

In this way, it seems that the disciple named Li Jian has a really good temperament, not to mention that among the three of them, among Mu Xiufeng's qi refining disciples, he can also be regarded as a son with a good temperament.

The black-bearded monk looked at the female cultivator surnamed Leng and knew that she had already wanted to take that Li Jian as an apprentice, and she had already spoken when Li Jian came down from the bridge, and the other monks sitting in the pavilion naturally would not rob her, so she wanted to fulfill this junior sister.

"This Li Jian ......" The black-bearded monk looked at the female cultivator surnamed Leng and spoke.

"Senior Brother Lu," the white-robed monk surnamed Sun hurriedly opened his mouth to steal the conversation, "Although two of these three children are from families, they are all sent, if I see it, it is still according to the previous rules, let them go first, and it is not too late to determine their teacher inheritance after they have passed the small five levels." ”

This black-bearded monk's surname is Lu, and he is the senior brother of all the monks in this pavilion, and he usually makes most of Mu Xiufeng's affairs, but this white-robed monk Sun Xiufeng's status in Mu Xiufeng is not low, and now Brother Sun spoke, obviously to prevent the female cultivator surnamed Leng from accepting Li Jian, and Brother Lu couldn't help but look at the female cultivator Leng when he heard it.

"I think Senior Brother Sun is also reasonable, we can't take care of one or the other, there is no discipline, I have nothing to do in the past few years, just take a closer look at the door first, if it is successful, it will not be too late to wait for him to pass the small five passes."

Brother Lu saw that his senior sister Leng didn't object, he naturally knew the reason for the matter, so it was okay, if she and that Senior Brother Sun were out of harmony, his senior brother really didn't know how to persuade him, so he said: "It's okay, since Senior Sister Leng is willing, then we will let it go first, and wait for them to pass the fifth level." ”

This small five levels refers to the Qi refining disciple's breakthrough through the bottleneck and cultivation to reach the fifth level of Qi refining.

Generally speaking, there are two hurdles for qi refining disciples, the first is to cultivate to break through to the fifth layer of qi refining, and the second is naturally to build a foundation.

Building a foundation is a big hurdle, but there is no Qi refining disciple who doesn't want to build a foundation. Compared to Zhuji, it seems that it is much easier to break through the fifth layer of Qi refining, but in fact, it is not the case, how many Qi refining disciples in the sect seem to be in their seventies and eighties, but in fact, their cultivation is still in the third or fourth Qi refining circles, of course, this is not too much, generally teenagers can enter the inner door, and it is normal for them to pass the fifth level at the age of thirty or forty.

The female monk surnamed Leng is named Leng Yue, known as Leng Yue Fairy, not only has excellent appearance, but also is a rare female sword cultivator in this cultivation world, her cultivation is amazing, not to mention that in the Five Spirits Sect, it is famous in the entire cultivation world.

Some time ago, there was a family surnamed Yun who intended to let one of their juniors worship under the Cold Moon Fairy, and the Yun family had nothing to do with the Cold Moon Fairy, but they were friendly with the Sun Monk of Mu Xiufeng, so they brought a heavy gift to invite the Sun Monk to come forward, hoping that with the face of Brother Sun and the Yun family's great gift, the Cold Moon Fairy could be persuaded to accept this junior.

How do you know that this Cold Moon Fairy is really as good as her name, when she was meeting guests in her own cave mansion, after asking her intentions, when she saw the little girl of the Yun family, she refused coldly, leaving no room at all, which made Brother Sun extremely embarrassed.

To say that when this Sun monk went to find the Cold Moon Fairy, he was prepared to touch the ashes of his nose, but he knew that the Cold Moon Fairy was so ruthless, and in private he was also secretly angry, in his opinion, the little girl of the Yun family was also a good child, if she was carefully trained under the door, she would also be a promising female sword cultivator after many years, I don't understand why the Cold Moon Fairy refused so simply, and she didn't even leave a gift and gave it away.

However, this Brother Sun is not a person who gives up easily, let the people of the Yun family leave the little girl in Mu Xiufeng first, and in a few years he will find an opportunity to let the Cold Moon Fairy put this child into the door wall, to put it bluntly, this Sun Monk feels that his face is damaged, and he will definitely get this face back from the Cold Moon Fairy.

As for the cold moon fairy and the Yun family, she didn't have any grievances, but she didn't like it when she saw the little girl of the Yun family, that's all. Later, I saw the little girl who stayed in the door, and I knew that Senior Brother Sun was angry with herself, and she was funny, but she didn't want to make the relationship between the same door too stiff, for example, today, she took a fancy to the child named Li Jian, and had the intention to accept her as an apprentice, but she didn't know that Senior Brother Sun was blocking it, she didn't care, a few years later, you can also take a look at this child, anyway, she said it at the time, even if Senior Brother Sun couldn't compete with her for this Li Jian, she was still sure of this.
